Vanderkam cites the findings of a Florida State University psychology professor, Roy Baumeister, who discovered that willpower, like muscles, becomes fatigued from overuse. Baumeister points out that diets fall apart in the evenings, and that other problems with poor self-control such as lapses in decision-making also come later in the day....

Users are hoping that Windows 10 lives up to this claim, and many believe it will do so. TechRadar reports that they feel Windows 10 is coming along well, and CNET says Windows 10 “may just be everything that Windows 8 should have been.” Unveiled in September, 2014, Windows 10 should be out by the end of July according to rumors (there is no confirmed release date as of writing this)....

The introverts tend to be reflective, contemplative and are not great socializers nor conversationalists. At the other end of the spectrum, the extroverts are outgoing, gregarious, love company, and talking. They also tend to make quick decisions and thrive on immediate gratification. The truth is that most people will display both tendencies (ambiversion) but one end of the spectrum usually dominates.

I lived 3 years as a single mom and it was never easy but it was always rewarding. Some days I didn’t know how I would pay the bills or be able to provide everything for my children but by being blessed with great family and friends, we were always taken care of. I was very blessed to have their father involved in their lives, so I did get breaks every other weekend and during holidays....

1. We wish we could be as blunt as Dr. Phil. If you really desire change, you’ll welcome honesty. And we will be honest with you, we just have to be careful in how we do so. Therapists are trained to be non-judgmental and non-offensive. In some cases we may know that the best way to get through to a person is to give a dose of good old-fashioned “in your face” truth, but we want you to keep coming back....

Here is the golden formula of body recomposition for better workouts that everyone should know: The ‘Stress > Adaptation’ Cycle (progressive overload) When we place our bodies under a short term stressor (lifting weights, cardio, sunbathing, etc) our bodies assume that stressor is now going to become a regular event and adapts (grow more resistant) so that next time, we’ll cope a little better. The problem is, if we apply the same stressor (same intensity) that we’ve already adapted to, it won’t stress us; therefore, we won’t adapt and we stagnate....

I wasn’t cool, so I hung out in the library – probably trying to learn how to be cool (but that’s another story). Today, all the cool kids want to be entrepreneurs. Kids dream of having a start up when they grow up and professionals leave established careers to have a shot at the entrepreneurial dream. As someone who took an active role in launch of three businesses in the last seven years I can testify to the fact that – contrary to popular opinion – there’s no glory in being an entrepreneur whatsoever....

I don’t know about your household, but in mine we often end up having to throw out half a loaf of bread a week.

Don’t worry, even if you are at the glass-half-empty end of the spectrum, there is still hope for you. It is never too late to change your thoughts. After all, your thoughts shape your reality.

What I have found is that my notion of me being terrible at writing isn’t anything unique. Not in the slightest. The best writers in the world all struggle with this notion on a daily basis.
